Sometimes bad things happen. Things that shake us to the core. Things that change the trajectory of our life in ways we could have never imagined.

And while we are sitting in the middle of a big ol’ mess it’s hard to see, to believe, that God can in fact turn this mess into a masterpiece.

He can, and He will. We just have to stick with Him.

So next time you find yourself staring at what you perceive to be an immovable barricade, try and keep this one thing in mind – that obstruction may not be a stumbling block, it may be a building block.

Don’t step over it. Don’t step around it – step onto it. Step onto it and stand tall. Look around. Your perspective just may change.

Bad things happen, y’all. But God is a good, good God. He always finds the good. Let Him reveal that good to you today.

“And we know that God causes everything to work together for the good of those who love God and are called according to his purpose for them.” Romans 8:28 (NLT)
